Google and Microsoft have pledged to invest $10 billion and $20 billion in digital security over the next five years.
Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, tweeted that $150 million of the amount pledged will be used to expand the company’s training network and help US agencies step up their digital security systems.
Moreover, The White House commented that “Microsoft will immediately make available $150 million in technical services to help federal, state, and local governments with upgrading security protection, and will expand partnerships with community colleges and non-profits for cybersecurity training.”
Google, on the other hand, has planned to extend its zero-trust security model, securing the software supply chain, building open-source security, and offering more training opportunities to US citizens. Moreover, Google has ambitiously announced to help 100,000 Americans earn Google Career Certificates in cybersecurity over the next three years.
